Argentina's captain, Rodrigo Quiroga: "In the first, third and fourth set we played very bad. In the second set we showed how we are able to play. Hopefully we will play better tomorrow."

Germany's captain, Robert Kromm: "In the beginning it was tough for us because some of our players are injured. In the second set we couldn’t keep our performance up, that’s why we lost that one. Tomorrow we need to be concentrated from the beginning and have to put them under pressure so their defense won’t get too strong."

Argentina's coach, Javier Weber: "My team played very bad today. We had our chance in the first two sets but we missed out on too many. In the third and fourth set Germany played too well and we didn’t have a chance to win."

Germany's coach, Raul Lozano: "When we look at the result we need to be satisfied with the game especially with our attack and block. In the first two sets we had problems with precise play. Also we need to be more constant in our defense. In the end we won three points."
